Genre

Per MOS:FILM, " Genre classifications should comply with WP:WEIGHT and reflect what is specified by a majority of mainstream reliable sources." I've gone through a few reviews from Metacritic at random to seek out the genres discussed.

The Guardian: ". This 1980s-set action epic lovingly, meticulously recreates the notorious neighbourhood (which was demolished in 1994), but sadly, the backdrop is more interesting than the story." here
Screen Daily "Soi Cheang returns triumphantly to Hong Kong genre cinema with this old-school 80s actioner set in Kowloon’s Walled City" here)
San Francisco Chronicle "The action movie is a glorious throwback to those days, both cinematically and literally. " here
The Observer "Set in Kowloon’s treacherous 80s gangland, Soi Cheang’s no-holds-barred action thriller pits a bare-knuckle refugee against a cackling bad guy" here
Slant Magazine "‘Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In’ Review: An Alternately Thrilling and Dense Action Epic" here
RogerEbert.com "It’s hard to imagine that this summer will see a better crowd-pleaser than “Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In,” a nostalgic Hong Kong action spectacular featuring the year’s most thrilling action filmmaking." here
Variety "While Soi Cheang's action film often flounders, it recreates '80s Hong Kong iconography with visual splendor. " here

From this, I'm comfortable of changing the lead to be just "action" for the genre, instead of the hybrid of several genres applied here. Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:10, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
